What I always wonder about these articles is why they believe that Apple will change. If there's anything we've learned so far, it's that most apps deal with these charges from Apple with no complaints. Yes, currently there's a PR hit, but as of right now this isn't stopping consumers from purchasing and using Apple products.<p>As frustrating as it is, these aren't new fees that have come out of nowhere. Consumers, thus far, have continued to purchase and use Apple products because there has been little to no loss in content available to them on the App Store. If, at some point, Apple perceives their 30% cut as being detrimental to their business I have no doubt that they will remove it or begin making exceptions.<p>Bottom line, there has to be a significant departure of developers from the App Store before this stops users from purchasing devices in Apple's ecosystem.
